In the news
- The best tech conversations happen when the room isn't too crowded. PgDay Lowlands in Utrecht has that energy today; focused, technical & no nonsense. Hans & Guy are on the floor all day; talking PostgreSQL, tuning, Oracle migrations & everything in between. No booth, no pitch. Just conversations. Come find them. And yes, there's chocolate 🍫
- We'll be in Utrecht tomorrow for PgDay Lowlands but first, our sponsor interview is already live. We got asked what we care about most as a business. Our answer: "ontzorgen". A Dutch word that roughly translates as "taking away someone's worries." We take full responsibility for the open source infrastructure we help build & run. Customers shouldn't have to worry about their database at 3am; that's what we're there for!
- We’re ready at Cybersec Netherlands! Come find us at booth 11.D019 & let’s talk about the blind spot most organisations still ignore: Linux security. 90% of production workloads run on Linux. Most security tools were built for Windows. That’s the gap we’re closing with KangaSec!
- Kaspersky was fine. Until it wasn't. Banned for US government use in 2017. Banned nationwide in 2024. Most security vendors are US- or Israeli-based. One regulatory decision away from being unusable. If you run supply chain risk assessments today; as required by ISO 27001; you should be asking yourself: what happens to my organisation if Europe introduces similar rules? For most organisations, the honest answer is: we’re not prepared. Kangasec is the answer: open source security that runs in your own environment. No dependency
- Hop off the cloud! Banned ChatGPT at work? Chances are your team still uses it; on their own account, on data you'd rather keep in-house. From 2 August the EU AI Act adds real obligations for high-risk AI use: logging, human oversight & auditability. Hard to prove when you're depending on someone else's cloud. Local AI puts that back in your hands. And "local" doesn't have to mean your own server room; an EU-managed environment like Exoscale or IONOS gets you the same control, without the hardware headache. We broke down what the
- We've known Guy for years & today he finally joins #teamkanga! With 20+ years of database experience, a switch from Oracle to PostgreSQL almost a decade ago & a track record as a speaker on tuning & Cloud Native Postgres, he's taking our database expertise to another level. Welcome!
- We'll be at PgDay Lowlands in Utrecht on September 10, as a sponsor & with two colleagues walking the floor all day. Last year we had a booth; this year we're going fully hallway track & yes, incl. Dutch chocolate 🍫 If you're going: come and find us for chocolate & chat! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKNMhAr3
- Next week #teamkanga will be at Cybersec Netherlands! Come find us at booth 11.D019 & let’s talk about the blind spot most organisations still ignore: Linux security. 90% of production workloads run on Linux. Most security tools were built for Windows. That’s the gap we’re closing with KangaSec, open source security built specifically for Linux-first organisations. No black boxes. No vendor lock-in. No Windows-first afterthoughts. Just transparent, sovereign and care-free Linux security. See you at booth 11.D019! Register for free
